Inform & Empower Digital Safety & Wellbeing Program

This term we are continuing their participation in the Inform & Empower digital safety & wellbeing program. This means that your child/children will be tuning in to live streamed incursions (with their teachers) every term that focus on healthy and safe digital habits. The incursion content is all written and delivered by qualified teachers who are endorsed by the eSafety Commissioner as a Trusted eSafety Provider.

These sessions aim to help children better navigate the online world and become more aware, clever, brave and kind. Our students will be engaging in these online session in either week two or three this term. In these sessions, our students will be looking into the topics of:

1/2: Balancing screen time, Healthy digital habits, Putting down the tech

3/4: Balancing screen time, Healthy digital habits, How different tech makes us feel

5/6: Balancing screen time, Building a healthy relationship with technology, Why it can be difficult to put down devices

While Foundation (Kinder/Prep) students do not participate in live streamed sessions, they will be exploring the basics of the online world through guided activities.

Please be sure to join the Parents & Carers Group (Inform & Empower) on Facebook to  receive a concise “tip sheet” each term that outlines what your child learned about in class and how you might open up these important conversations.
